The US government succeeded in convicting a 11th suspect in what it calls the
“Virginia jihad network” when it found a third-grade teacher guilty of aiding
the Lashkar-e-Toiba.
Twenty Nine year old Ali Chandia teaches an Islamic school in College Park,
Maryland and was convicted for providing material support to the terrorist
outfit and participating in a terrorist conspiracy.
Chandia was accused of traveling to Pakistan after the September 11, 2001
attacks to receive military training from the Lashkar. Upon his return in 2002,
he worked as a chauffeur to a top Lashkar official in the US, Mohammed Ajmal
Khan, and helped ship military training equipment to Pakistan.
